Piccadilly Circus in the dead of night
GmEmBDmC
Just passing time beneath the lights
EmCEm
Up in town and all alone
CDm
Got no business so minds his own
GmEmBDmC
The hotel room is lonely and cold
GmEmBDmC
He might as well go for a stroll
EmCEm
Idly looking in a hi-fi shop
CDm
Footsteps, a chuckle, and one hard slap
GmDmC
And they didn't even see his face
See him flinch or hear him groan
They didn't even see his eyes
CDm
One mean blow and on they ran
GmEmBDmC
He put his fingers to his side
And felt his flesh was open wide
EmCEm
He felt the rent the blow had made
EmCDm
For the hand that fell had held a blade
GmDmC
And they didn't even see his face
See him stumble, hear his cry
They didn't even see his eyes
CDm
Just lashed out in passing by
BGm
What can it mean?
BAm
Who can make some sense of that?
BAm
Did it mean a thing to them?
GmAm
What can make a mind like that?
Dm C Gm x3

Am Gm x3
DmGmEmBDmC
Those forty stitches helped him over
Who can live life over his shoulder?
EmCEm
He tried to put it in his past
CDm
And flew safe home back to Belfast
GmDmC
And they didn't even see his face
See him stagger, watch him fall
They didn't even see his eyes
CDm
They never knew him at all
